I agree that Spence is a big fight away from being in the discussion for #1. Also, Kovalev is still a live dog. People have short memories. By most scoring the fight, he beat Ward the first fight. He had an embarrassing loss the second fight. He has still shown since that loss to be a great fighter. I have always and still do rate him higher than GGG. If he fights Bivol soon and beats him, he is for sure in the discussion.
The interesting thing to me is that Kovalev and GGG were my #1 and #2 a few years back. They have both dropped quite a bit on my list solely because others have just taken their spot.
